Equipment

I made the switch to digital in November 2004. This is a list of my current equipment (click for my review):

Canon Digital Rebel 400D XTi (new!)
Sigma 500mm f/4.5 EX APO HSM
Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
Canon 50mm f/1.8 II
Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC
Canon 500D closeup diopter lens
Canon 550EX flash + Better beamer extender
Gitzo 1325 tripod + Bogen 3421 Gimbal head
Wolverine 60GB portable hard drive & card reader
Sandisk 2GB Extreme III compact flash card

I used to have the Canon Digital Rebel 300D, until I ran it into the ground. It lasted 40,000 actuations, fyi.

Prior to this I was primarily using the following equipment:

Nikon N80
Sigma 300mm f/4.0 APO
Nikon 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G
Canon 500D closeup diopter lens
Fuji Velvia film

 

I've found Amazon to be a great way to purchase equipment -- they generally have excellent prices and have one of the best return policies around.
